Highlights
– Discussions with multiple spodumene concentrate producers-both operational and near-term developers
– Substantial benefits (transport costs and tariffs) to supplying local convertor
– Supply estimated to commence around 2028
– Targeting 140,000 tpa SC6 spodumene supply once ramped up
– LU7 intends to purchase spodumene ore at benchmark prices from the market
– Targeting minimum supply of 10 years for project finance
The Company, as stated previously, have been in discussions with multiple spodumene concentrate producers-both operational and near-term developers-regarding long-term feedstock supply agreements for the Becancour Lithium Refinery. In these discussions, these parties recognise a real benefit in potentially supplying their spodumene product to a local lithium converter as opposed to shipping and selling their spodumene to Chinese operations for conversion. The spodumene transport costs could be as high as US$100 per dmt which represents US$800-900 per tonne of finished lithium carbonate product. If the final lithium carbonate must be shipped back to North America that adds another approximately US$200 per tonne of final product. Today, Canada has an import tariff of 25% on all Chinese lithium chemicals so the local conversion is an overriding advantage.
In these discussions, the Company is targeting a non-binding MoU for the full supply of 140,000 tonnes per annum for SC6 grade spodumene material. The target tonnes will proportionally increase if the grade is less than 6% LiO2. The supply agreement could be converted to a definitive agreement when the refinery becomes
funded, and construction commences. Ideally, LU7 is targeting a spodumene feed supply to be at least 10 years and rolling 5 years, to give security of supply for project financing. In these discussions, the Company is targeting supply commencing around 2028 at approximately 56,000 tonnes per year. The required supply tonnage will increase to 98,000 tonnes in 2029 and reach full capacity at 140,000 tonnes per annum from 2030 onward. The spodumene supply is targeted to be delivered to the Becancour Lithium Refinery storage shed on site. Whilst spodumene supply could be from anywhere in the North Atlantic region (including Brazil and Africa), a strategic domestic Canadian feedstock source would mitigate the Company’s risks and logistical challenges of overseas shipments and foreign processing. It is proposed that the spodumene concentrate will be refined into approximately 18,270 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium carbonate (as per DFS), supporting the expansion of Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage industries.
LU7 intends to purchase spodumene ore at benchmark prices from the market, and LU7 will retain full ownership of the resulting lithium carbonate, with the right to sell it either to the open market at benchmark prices or directly to an OEM offtaker. To clarify, the Company is not searching for a tolling arrangement.
Executive Chairman Iggy Tan said ‘There are several interested potential spodumene suppliers that could meet the 2028 timeframe and discussions are ongoing. There is real interest in the market. The Company will continue to keep the market informed concerning progress of these discussions and negotiations. Once we can secure feedstock supply for the refinery the focus will shift to getting a strategic OEM on board the project in exchange for the valuable battery grade lithium carbonate offtake’.

Canada’s mining sector is gaining momentum, with over 130 projects with a total value of C$117.1 billion now planned or in construction, according to Natural Resources Canada’s 2024 inventory. That’s an increase of nine projects and C$23.5 billion from the previous year, signaling strong interest in resource development.
Yet despite this growth, the path to production remains slow. A study published in FACETS and cited by the Mining Association of Canada shows that the average timeline from discovery to production exceeds 17 years, highlighting the pressing need to streamline Canada’s complex and often lengthy permitting process.
Although miners, explorers and developers have long criticized the decades-long process, Canada’s federal and provincial governments have only recently begun working to expedite the process in an effort to harness the country’s vast critical minerals potential and assert the nation’s dominance in resource extraction.
The federal government has committed to expediting and streamlining the permitting process, laying out ambitious targets in its 2024 budget. Those goals include completing federal impact assessments and permitting for designated mining projects within five years, and within two years for non-designated projects.
Achieving these targets will involve establishing a federal mining permitting coordinator, enhancing funding for federal review authorities and promoting concurrent regulatory reviews to reduce duplication and delays
Provincial governments also play a significant role in mining project approvals.
A May 2025 report from the Mining Association of BC, outlines the economic potential of 27 advanced-stage mining projects in the province totaling more than C$90 billion. The projects highlighted in the report are described as new; however, there are several past-producing assets that are being offered a new lease on life.
One of those projects is Blue Lagoon Resources’ (CSE:BLLG,OTCQB:BLAGF) Dome Mountain gold project.
Located 50 minutes from Smithers, the 22,000 hectare property hosts the historic Dome Mountain mine, where past exploration and development were focused on the Boulder Vein, initially discovered in the 1980s.
In February, Blue Lagoon secured the final permit needed to advance its Dome Mountain project, clearing the way for production to begin in Q3 2025. The permit — one of just nine mining permits granted in BC since 2015 — marks a significant milestone for the junior miner, and positions the company to transition from an explorer to a gold and silver miner.
Although Dome Mountain was in production between 1980 and 1993 under different management, securing permits to restart activity at the 30 year old brownfield proved as complex as starting up a greenfield project.
“It wasn’t easy at all,” said Vig. “They say that it takes over 15 years to get a mine permit in BC, and people are congratulating us that we got it in just under five. And personally, I thought it was four years too late.”
He went on to note, “Imagine being in any business that you have to wait. You know, you open up your restaurant, but then you have to wait for five years to open it. I mean, it’s incredibly difficult to get a mining permit”
Indeed, BC has one of Canada’s longest permitting processes. A 2019 report from Resource World notes that it takes six months on average to get an exploration permit in Canada. However, in BC, it can take 15 to18 months.
National and provincial critical minerals strategies have been established over the last six years, and parties on both sides of the aisle have promised policy reforms. But Vig underscored the challenges that remain.
“I think we want to believe that,” he said of the notion that the permitting process will be expedited through the critical minerals push. “I think the politicians are certainly saying that, but I’m not so confident that the execution can be there,” he continued. “Because, you know, you’ve got many factors. You’ve got the infrastructure of the government itself, the bureaucracy. There are only so many people that are able to process these applications.”
A key requirement in the permitting process is Indigenous community consultation, engagement and approval, an area provincial governments have struggled to seamlessly integrate into the process.
For Blue Lagoon, communication and consultation with the Lake Babine Nation started early and remains a key tenet.
The Lake Babine Nation is one of BC’s largest Indigenous communities, with over 2,500 registered members. Its traditional territory surrounds Babine Lake, the province’s longest natural lake.
“We have a great relationship with the Lake Babine Nation,” said Vig. “You know, honestly, it was a very simple process. It’s a philosophy, that is very rudimentary, certainly in my culture.” Vig, who is of Indian heritage, moved to Canada in 1972 with his family, credits those formative years for fostering his deep sense of respect.
“My whole upbringing is all about respect. So for us, it was very simple — respect the people, respect the land,” he said, adding that a lot of it was common sense. “Protect the water, protect the land and make sure you don’t damage it as you go along (are) good practices (for) any business,” Vig emphasized.
Water conservation and protection is especially important to Blue Lagoon, an issue Vig described as “a way of life” due to its significance for fishing and cultural practices.
‘You don’t wait to be asked — you take the initiative to understand what matters most,” he said.
As he explained, provincial regulatory requirements called for water testing at five sites along a specific stream, and Blue Lagoon chose to conduct testing at nine locations instead.
“It’s really unheard of in our industry, to the best of my knowledge. We didn’t just do what was required of us. We like to go above and beyond to make sure. And when you do things like that, I think the sincerity comes across,” he said.
Another challenge junior miners are facing is accessing funding. Investors who once used added liquidity to the space have moved to other sectors like tech, leaving mining coffers on the decline.
Blue Lagoon has been fortunate in terms of capital raising; the company completed the final tranche of its most recent private placement in late April, raising C$2.23 million through the issuance of 8.9 million units at C$0.25 each.
The full offering brought in C$4.87 million over four tranches, fully funding Dome Mountain to production.
Blue Lagoon’s ability to fast track its permitting and funding process were praised by mining committee chair Yannis Tsitos, who has more than two decades of experience in the mining sector working for companies like global commodities giant BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP). Drawing on his history with large-scale operations, Tsitos described the Blue Lagoon’s approach as unusually nimble and disciplined.
“We haven’t cut a single corner,” he said, noting that while major players can afford to raise hundreds of millions upfront, most juniors must build organically. “What’s impressive is how this team — led by Rana — used creativity and persistence to move forward without delay,” he added. “It’s not about size; it’s about profitability and execution.”
He emphasized that Dome Mountain’s 15,000 ounce per year potential is just the beginning.
“Every major company started with one mine,” said Tsitos. “This could be the first step in something much bigger, and it’s happening right here in BC, which is hungry for investment.”

Ioneer Ltd (ASX: INR, Nasdaq: IONR) (Ioneer) is pleased to announce a 308% upgrade to the Ore Reserve estimate for its 100%-owned Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project (‘Rhyolite Ridge’ or the ‘Project’) in Nevada, USA, alongside updated Project economics.
The Ore Reserve has increased by 186.6 million tonnes (Mt) and approximately 48% of the Mineral Resource has been converted into Reserve, now estimated at:
“Today’s updated Reserve and Mine Plan reinforces the importance of Rhyolite Ridge’s remarkable mineralogy. Our Ore Reserve estimate of 247 Mt containing a total of 1.92 Mt LCE and 7.68 Mt BAE make it the largest lithium-boron Reserve in the world,” said Bernard Rowe, Managing Director, Ioneer. “It allows Ioneer to match prevailing market conditions and blend or prioritise ore to produce a valuable boric acid co- product, whose market is uncorrelated with the Project’s primary lithium product. No other lithium project offers this level of flexibility and economic advantage. In periods of low cycle lithium pricing, like today, we plan to prioritize the high-boron ore production to optimize the relative proportion of total revenue derived from boric acid.”
By prioritising High-Boron (Hi-B) ore in the first 25 years of production, the Project is poised to produce an average of ~19,200 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LCE, and 116,400 tpa of boric acid (see Table 1).
The updated Ore Reserve estimate, 95-year mine plan for stage one operations, and Project economics reaffirms Rhyolite Ridge as a highly attractive global Project to produce lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and boric acid. The updated findings position Ioneer, on an LCE basis, in the lowest cost quartile for lithium production globally with an estimated all-in sustaining cash cost to produce battery grade lithium hydroxide of US$5,745 and a cash cost of C1 $3,858 per tonne net of expected boric acid revenue in the first 25 years.
The Project has a stable overall operating cost structure to produce lithium carbonate and battery grade lithium hydroxide due to the scale and reliability of its boric acid credit. Boron remains one of the most stable natural resource commodities over many decades.
Ioneer has refined Project plans over the past four years and updates now include an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Class 2 capital cost estimate (-10%, +15%) with approximately 70% of the Project’s engineering complete. As a result of this and other engineering work including RAM analysis and detailed engineering design, Ioneer has adopted a more conservative approach to plant availability, equipment downtime and maintenance strategies. While this approach reduces bottom line economics, the Company believes it is appropriate for a Project of this type and scale.
The Company now estimates total capital expenditure to complete the Project will be US$1,667.9 million, including a 10% contingency.

Harmony Gold Mining Company’s (NYSE:HMY,JSE:HAR) wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Harmony Gold (Australia), has entered into a binding agreement to acquire MAC Copper (NYSE:MTAL,ASX:MAC).
MAC is the owner of the CSA copper mine in New South Wales. Its annual production comes to approximately 40,000 metric tons of copper, with 2024 output totaling 41,000 metric tons of the red metal.
The transaction is priced at US$12.12 per MAC share in cash, implying a total equity value of US$1.03 billion for MAC.
“(This acquisition) is significant as it introduces a high-quality, established underground producing copper asset to the Harmony portfolio,” said Harmony Gold CEO Beyers Nel in a Tuesday (May 27) press release.
“The operation is a logical fit with the portfolio given it meets Harmony’s core investment criteria, including increasing free cash flow generation while improving margins at long-term expected commodity prices.”
Located 700 kilometers west-northwest of Sydney in the Cobar region, CSA has a history that stretches back at least 150 years. Its reserve life stands at over 12 years, and it has maintained a stable resource over the last decade.
Harmony believes CSA will be a valuable addition to its sole Australian asset, Eva, in Northwest Queensland. Harmony acquired Eva in December 2022, and believes it is set to become the state’s biggest copper mine.
According to the company, Eva and CSA could together boost its copper production on the east coast of Australia to 100,000 metric tons annually over the course of the next five years.
The transaction remains subject to certain conditions, but MAC’s board has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the scheme. Should everything follow to schedule, the deal is expected to close in Q4.

The gold price saw peaks and troughs this week.
After rising to almost US$3,350 per ounce on Monday (May 26), the yellow metal took a dive, dropping just below the US$3,260 level on May 28 (Wednesday). It was back on the rise the next day, hitting US$3,324.
Trade tensions were in focus throughout the period.
Concerns lessened early in the week, when US President Donald Trump said he would delay raising tariffs on the EU, but uncertainty ratcheted back up on Wednesday (May 28), when an American trade court issued a ruling that blocked most of his tariffs put in place by his administration.
“It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency” — Kush Desai, White House spokesperson
The decision prompted a flurry of activity and backlash from Trump and his supporters, with a federal appeals court ultimately reinstating the tariffs on May 29 (Thursday).
The turmoil was beneficial for gold, as was news that the US economy shrank by 0.2 percent annually in Q1. The GDP estimate is the second of three from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and comes in lower than the first calculation of a 0.3 percent contraction.
Commodities giant Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTC Pink:GLCNF) has quietly moved billions worth of global coal and ferroalloys assets into an Australian subsidiary.
The Australian Financial Review was the first to report the news, and it’s already sparked speculation about renewed M&A talks between Glencore and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO). The two major companies reportedly engaged in discussions last year, but in the end did not move forward.
With this restructuring from Glencore and Rio Tinto’s CEO due to step down later this year, market watchers see potential for a deal to be done.
Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTCQX:AAUKF) made headlines elsewhere this week as the firm finished demerging its platinum-group metals unit, Valterra Platinum (JSE:VAL).
Valterra, formerly Anglo American Platinum, began trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on May 28, and will have a secondary listing in London as of June 2.
Anglo made the decision to spin off Valterra after heading off a US$49 billion takeover bid from BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) last year. The company embarked on a restructuring plan that will see it hone in on copper and iron ore.
Interestingly, Valterra’s debut comes alongside a platinum price boost. The metal recently broke out to its highest level in about two years, nearly reaching US$1,100 per ounce.
Edward Sterck of the World Platinum Investment Council believes it’s too soon to tell whether the rise is sustainable, but he does see a ‘perfect storm’ brewing for platinum.
Here’s how he explained it:
I think platinum’s fundamentals are just highly attractive at the moment. You’ve got really constrained supply, you’ve got demand that is actually beginning to show some real signs of growth, driven principally by an inflection in jewelry demand and by ongoing growth in investment demand.
And so given those things are resulting in these really significant deficits — this is the third year of almost a million ounces of deficit out of an 8 million ounce market — those are just rapidly depleting those aboveground stocks … this has all generally come together as a perfect storm. We are seeing that tightness in the market, and I feel quietly optimistic that we’re going to see that long-awaited price response come through.
Watch the full interview for a more in-depth look at supply and demand dynamics for platinum.
